Children's Week (May 1 - 7) Guide, Including 4.1 Changes

It's been a while since a holiday has gotten a serious rehaul, but Semana de los Niños starts this weekend and it's going to change that. This year the event features a redone quest chain for the initial leg of quests that take place in Azeroth, inviting you and your orphan to tour the changes Cataclysm has wrought. There are some clever additions to the questline as well, notably new ice creams that are served up specifically for the holiday at a mage run shop called Cone of Cold and dragon kites to fly with your orphan. Both the kites and the shop can be found in each faction's major capital city.

Additionally, there are two new rewards for those pet collectors: Caracola (reward for new Azeroth quest chain) and Patitas (reward for old Outland quest chain). This means if you've done this event every year, you'll still have a reason to check out this year's celebration.

As usual, we also have a comprehensive guide to share with the Wowhead community that outlines everything you need to know about the event in a lot of detail.

¡El diamante más grande del mundo!For this quest, bring your orphan to Hall of Thanes in Forjaz. This is the newly opened gate to Old Ironforge and your orphan would like to explore it to pay tribute to the deceased King Magni Bronzebeard. Old Ironforge looks amazing, so this is the perfect excuse to visit it!

Upon completion of all three of these quests, two new quests will become available:

¡Quiero un heladooooo!For this quest, your orphan wants to try a new type of ice cream! All you have to do is head to the Blue Recluse in the Mage Quarter of Ciudad de Ventormenta where you'll find mages with adorable ice-cream bearing elementals have set up a shop called Cone of Cold that sells Cono de frío. Buy the frosty treat from Hans Coldhearth or Bazzil Frostweaver and share it with your orphan to receive credit. Cone of Cold looks awesome, so even if you hate the holiday, check it out before it's too late!

Or, if you hate pets, you can opt to select the Pago de cascarrabias, which contains a measly . You will have the option to complete this quest again next year, so you can eventually collect all of the pets!

Once you have completed this quest, three new quests become available from your orphan:

Recorrer la CohetepistaFor this quest, bring your orphan to the Secret Lab in Azshara. He wants to ride an experimental rocket that's found at the Southern end of the Rocketway and blast off!

La Reina alma en penaFor this quest, bring your orphan to the Royal Quarter of Entrañas to meet Lady Sylvanas. He's always dreamed of meeting such an influential Horde figure.

El jefe caídoFor this quest, bring your orphan to Red Rocks in Northeastern mountain range of Mulgore. He wants to pay tribute to the now deceased Cairne Bloodhoof by viewing his hoof print.

Upon completion of all three of these quests, two new quests will become available:

¡Quiero un heladooooo!For this quest, your orphan wants to try a new type of ice cream! All you have to do is head to the Slums in Orgrimmar where you'll find a goblin mage, Snixx Quickfreeze has set up a crazy shop called Cone of Cold that sells Cono de frío. Buy the frosty treat and share it with your orphan to receive credit.

Or, if you hate pets, you can opt to select the Pago de cascarrabias, which contains a measly . You will have the option to complete this quest again next year, so you can eventually collect all of the pets!

Any idea if the Northrend quests which didn't 'Reset' last year are going to be do-able for the other faction this year?

It's nice that they've added in some new pets to keep those that have already finished everything interested in the event.

Last year Blizzard said they would be able to be completed in 2011. We can't tell if they will or not, but I am hoping they will be (and have a strong feeling they will be as well).

We can do both the Outland and Azeroth quests, on the same character, and get both new pets right?

Dragon Kites? o.0

Will Legs be added to the requirements for Veteran Nanny? This'll be my third Children's Week, and I was looking forward to getting that achievement done. Will I have to take Peanut to get the achievement?

Most likely you will have to do the latter to get the achievement.

Either that or you wait a year to get all four then get the achievement if they add Legs to the requirement.

They probably won't; they haven't added in anything to do with the Northrend Orphan things after all.

Oh God! School of Hard Knocks..... its the nightmare all over again.

I HOPE we will be able to use WarGames for that.Its not only hard as it was but also disturbing other people's gameplay(Those who like to PvP seriously during that week are doomed)

I believe it is possible to use Wargames.

Any idea what this this Green Balloon will do? It says "require children's week" and "binds when picked up" so I would think it would be used.

Nope, there are a couple more balloons. Sadly we could not test this on the PTR--it wasn't enabled--so we don't know yet. We also scoured the database. When it goes live, we will update immediately if the balloon is used for anything =)
